you're looking live right now at a picture of the francis scott key bridge in baltimore. you can see how foggy it is. the weather is turning. dive teams are back in the water looking for the bodies of six construction workers. who fell into the river when the francis scott key bridge buckled underneath them. the effort is tough. the water is cold, kicked up sediment, dark, and the currents are strong. at the same time, sonar and underwater drones are looking for any cars that may also be in the water. as for the crash that led to this catastrophe, the ntsb says it has the ship's data recorder, information that hopefully will help investigators learn what caused the 10,000 container ship to lose power and steering shortly after launching from the port of baltimore. >> we will be looking for any sort of electronics,

documentation. we will want to take pictures. we will want to look at the engine room of the vessel, the bridge, and then we will want to look at the highway structure itself, now that it has collapsed. and then we will begin to gather all the perishable evidence. so our focus on scene is not to determine what happened but to get everything we need. >> joining us now, nbc news correspondent jay gray and cnbc senior editor of guests and global supply chain reporter, lori anne laracko. tell us what you're seeing. the dive teams are back in the water but obviously the weather is not on their side. >> reporter: it's a mess out here today, to be real frank. rain for most of the day, cloudy, foggy at times. a chop on the surf as they're trying to work through and find those six missing and presumed dead construction workers who

were on top the bridge at the time of the accident. let's get into what they're working through underneath the waters. you've got basically a soup of debris, twisted metal, ripped apart cabling. a lot of that with sharp edges. you've got boulders of concrete and rock that are filling in that area as well from the collapsed bridge, and so it's very dangerous for those divers, even for the remote vehicles and that type of soup with no real visibility as all. there are several sharp edges. there's a concern that a diver could rip a suit or rip an airline. that's something they're taking care of now. and then you've got the issue of not being able to be in the air. not being able to get any type of support from the air and looking into what's going on on the ground. they're trying to deal with all of that. top of mind, the idea that they want to bring some closure to the families of these victims, and so they're continuing that work as best they can in what

are terrible conditions. while the ntsb has now boarded the ship, as you talked about, they have the data recorder and they're analyzing all of that. presumably the crew. that was something they hoped to accomplish today. i should tell you, katy, the crew remains on the ship. they are living in their quarters on that ship and said to be cooperating fully with this investigation! jay, what about the families of those lost, what efforts, what outreach has been made to them? >> reporter: well, the governor has spoken to them personally, to the family members of the victims. they're being provided all the information that is available, he says, and he says that he's going to make sure that the efforts they dedicated to the search and rescue continue in this now recovery mission. he says that he had will be in constant contact with those families and that the state along with the federal government will provide them with the things they need to try and move forward from this tragedy. realizing that a lot of them don't know what they're going to

need right now. don't know how they're going to move forward, and they will be looking for that help. >> you have been our expert on global supply chains, also our expert on ports. tell us what it means to have this port shut down right now? >> reporter: it's significant because it's the 11th largest port in the nation. and more importantly, it's the commodities that go in and out which is why it's so important for our economy and for the logistical supply chain. it is the largest importer and exporter location for automobiles and farm equipment, as well as trucks. you bring in sugar. you bring in gypsum, which is also brought in, you know, it's made for cement. it's a critical component, if you will, for dry wall. and the problem here is that the fact that the port has no estimated time of when it's going to be back up, you're in a

logistical scramble. there are retailers out there, the home depots of the world, the ikeas of the world, they are now trying to figure out which ports around the east coast, their product is going to be coming in. and to compound this, katy, they just found out today and it's breaking news for the audience, there are some ocean carriers that are declaring force majur, which means they're going to drop off boxes over at the diverted ports, but it's the onus of the shippers to pick up their products. they now have to start from ground zero in finding a truck and finding, you know, a rail in terms of getting their container out. so it's really a mess. >> definitely a logistical emergency. a lot of our systems, our supply chain was disrupted during the pandemic. were there resiliencies built in post pandemic, in case of an emergency where a port shuts down? >> resiliencies for this, absolutely not. in terms of the resiliency you're looking at port capacity,

the ability to move the containers out, and so, you know, i have reached out to all of the ports. the good news here is that the consumers are not spending as much. we have talked about this before. there are less containers coming in. the diverted containers, they can get in through the ports a-ok, but it's speak to go the chassis providers. do you have enough chassises at these ports to pick up the extra containers. from what i'm hearing, they can, but it's all delayed. >> the northeast corridor accounts for 40% of gdp. tell me if i'm wrong about that. what does it mean for potential economic output going forward lori ann, if the port remains shut down for weeks, if the bridge takes years to complete? >> you're literally going to see the mobility of the supply chain. you're going to see what we saw with the red sea. you're going to have different trade routes, the trade strengths.

it will move forward, but there will be delays, and so, you know, you might have containers that incur costs, all of these costs, katy, are passed over to the consumer. so that's the reason why you need that line of sight, right, of where is my container so i can pick it up and get it out. >> lori ann, thank you very much for your expertise. jay gray, thank you for getting to a camera. we appreciate it. joining us now, historian, sal mercogliano, what is the first order of business in trying to get that bridge out of the water? get the bridge off of that container ship where, again, there are still workers living? >> yeah, i mean, one of the things we heard in the press conference today was the stabilization of the vessel. you want to make sure the ship doesn't become a bigger problem. they are going through the vessel. which is why the crew is on board. they have to operate the vessel. they're going to need to ensure there's not leakage, any problems. then they have to remove the

wreckage from the ship. and then you have the process we just learned that don john smit has been tasked with working the salvage of the ship and the channel there. so we're going to have to be bringing in salvage assets from around the world and the country to be able to start taking apart this bridge, and clearing at the very least, the section between the two pillars to open up the channel so we can get into the port of baltimore. >> getting the bridge out of the way so that it can open again, reopen. there can be shipping passing through that section. the data recorder has been recovered by the ntsb. how do they go through that? >> so the data recorder is encrypted so they will go and actually start looking at the data. the information on that will be everything from the data from the engine room, which is going to be really crucial to determine what caused this power outage. we are hearing, you know, there were power outages, potentially

on the ship prior to this. was there a systematic issue that would be recorded on the data recorder. what were the actions in the engine room, and you'll get the imagery, excuse me, the voice recorder will record those who are up on the bridge, the actions of the ship's master and the pilots. >> what about this idea of contaminated fuel potentially playing a role here? what does that mean? >> yeah, so starting in 2020, we have seen a change in fuel for shipping. we're trying to get much greener, you're seeing the shift over to the low sulfur fuel. we have had instances where ships were switching over fuels, leading port, heading out to the open sea, where fuel would get in and contaminate the vessel. it would be a problem. this ship lost not just the main power but auxiliary power. i'm not sure we'll find a fuel issue, but could be. there are a lot of questions about what caused this. one of the reasons, you're hearing a lot of inspections going back through the previous inspections of the ship, down in chile and new york is to see if

there was a systematic and continuous problem with the ship. so far we're not really hearing that. >> sal, again thank you for joining us today. we appreciate your expertise, especially in such an emergency scenario like this one. sal, thank you. >> thank you. coming up, president biden should be able to divert emergency cash to part of the disaster, and congress should be able to step in at some point. congress is congress, what exactly is realistic. plus, a surprise win for a democrat in deep red alabama, what she said to get into office. at she said to get into office zyrtec allergy relief works fast and lasts a full 24 hours so dave can be the... deliverer of dance. ok, dave! let's be more than our allergies. zeize the day with zyrtec. you know what's brilliant? boring. think about it.

and projects behind that. so it is certainly possible. i would go so far as to say likely that we may be turning to congress in order to help top off those funds, but that shouldn't be a barrier to the immediate next few days, beginning to get the ball rolling. >> the immediate next few days, beginning to get the ball rolling. is congress now having a conversation about getting money to baltimore? >> i would say initial conversations, katy, but i have a lot of questions here. i have done some initial reporting on this since secretary buttigieg made those remarks just a short time ago. here's what i would tell you. the infrastructure law created this emergency relief fund and put into it $100 million a year from 2021 to, i believe, 2026 or 2027. that emergency relief fund is for the rebuilding of roads wrecked in disaster or through other circumstances. federal loads, by the way. this bridge would clearly qualify. now what i'm not entirely clear about, i'm looking for clarity,

and hopefully someone will see me and give me clarity, whether this can be used for cleanup. buttigieg makes interesting points, there are a long line of projects that need this money. there are horrible disaster, but there are lesser disasters around the country, and those need repair as well. number two, how much will this cost? i don't know the answer to that. i know in 2007 when the bridge collapsed in minnesota, that was 250 million. so i would imagine, seems like a larger bridge and it's obviously -- everything gets more expensive with time, so i would assume this will be exponentially more money. that's number two. number three, there are going to be costs here that fall outside of this emergency relief fund, whether the administration, and i don't know the answer to this yet, but whether the administration or congress wants to give money to the port of baltimore for economic impact from lost business from this disaster. that seems entirely possible.

that can't come from this fund. they will need to appropriate additional money to do that. and lastly, if they significantly deplete this emergency relief fund, they're going to need to back fill it with more money because $100 million a year for the next five, six, seven years won't cut it. there are a lot of questions, i want to add one more thing, in 2007, that bill passed 421-0, in the house of representatives, went to the senate, was adopted by unanimous consent, came back to the house, was adopted again by unanimous consent with changes, the president, president bush signed the bill for the minnesota bridge five or six days after that disaster. just an amazing historical data point about how quickly congress used to move when it came to these disaster. >> this is a much different congress. jake sherman, thank you. >> it is, it just is. jake sherman, thank you very

much. coming up next, quote, i think we're past that. what does lara trump mean when she talks about distancing the rnc from 2020. plus, the paris olympics are coming. what the city is doing to prepare. is doing to prepare.

election was stolen. according to "the washington post," the rnc is sussing out whether new applicants, where they stand on the last election, using something of a litmus test, according to the paper. on the subject of the next election, you might wonder where the party stands. does the rnc believe it was stolen as their candidate continues to falsely claim? nbc's garrett haake sat down with the new cochair of the party, lara trump to ask what the president's daughter-in-law thinks happened in 2020. >> is it going to be the position of the rnc in 2024 that the 2020 election was not fairly decided or that it was stolen somehow? >> well, i think we're past that. i think that's in the past. we learned a lot. certainly we took a lot of notes. right now, we have 23 states that have 78 lawsuits in these states to ensure that it is harder to cheat and easier to vote. >> joining us now, nbc news senior correspondent garrett haake. i know you asked her a whole lot of questions there. i would like to focus, if you

don't mind, on the 2020 election. what does it mean when she says the party has moved past 2020? >> i think her point is that they're trying to focus on winning in 2024, and that relit rating elements of, you know, why donald trump talks about the race that he does isn't helpful at a party level. we know that to be true because we saw it in the midterms where candidates who were kind of towing that line and making the idea of, you know, the lines about a stolen election a key part of their platform lost up and down the ballot. and so i think what you saw, what i saw from lara trump is someone who's trying to modernize the republican party to get them into the modern era with things like voting by mail and voting early, but struggling to grapple with the history of why republican voters don't trust those systems, and how much of an impact on that fact comes from her father-in-law, the party's nominee, and i think that tension is going to be at the heart of everything that happens here between donald trump and a republican party that's desperate to stop talking about this and start trying to

focus on winning the next election. >> the tension is interesting because as "the washington post," as i reported at the top, there's apparently candidate interviews, according to the paper where the candidates that are trying to work at the rnc are being asked how they see the 2020 election. how does the party move past it if that's still a question being asked of folks that are trying to work there? >> i have my own reporting on this, and i'll say two things, number one, my understanding is this would be for folks working in specific swing states where the rnc is involved in lawsuits about how voting is going forward or whether they did have concerns in 2020 about how elections were administered. my understanding of these questions is they were sort of open-ended means to gauge how familiar people were with election laws in the states and how they would handle situations that might come up. i think we need to realize that this is not a fringe position within the republican party to question the 2020 election results. you know, something like 2/3 of republican voters have some degree of question about whether

joe biden won the election legitimately. as we know he did. if you do the math, that's 50, 60 million voters. people that work for the rnc share similar questions. that's where a lot of the republican party is right now. >> good point. garrett haake, thank you very much. and if you wanted literally anybody else, now you can have him, literally anybody else has joined the 2024 race. dustin ebay, a 7th grade teacher in texas has legally changed his name to literally anybody else, and now he has announced he's running for president, saying he's fed up with political parties and wants to be a beacon of hope and innovation. so there's your choice. literally anybody else. and evan gershkovich has been in a russian prison for yearly a year. the "wall street journal" reporter's pretrail detainment will extend for another three

it happened again. women's reproductive rights were back on the ballot in a red state, and once again, a democratic candidate won out in a surprise upset. this time it was alabama and ivf. democrat marilyn lands flipped a state house blue. it is the same seat lands lost in 2022 but last night she won it by a 26 point margin. that's huge. joining us now, nbc news correspondent dasha burns. that is huge. >> it's a massive margin in alabama. democrats are calling this a political earthquake, and that's why. this is a legislature that is super majority republican, so for lands to have this kind of victory is really remarkable. and here's what she did, katy, she campaigned specifically on

reproductive rights. she talked over and over again about that alabama state supreme court ruling that paused ivf treatment in the state that the legislature had to scramble to fix. she talked about that. she talked about repealing the all out abortion ban that the state has. she made that central to her campaign, and look at what happened, democrats are also calling this a harbinger of things to come. >> is there anything else happening in alabama soon that we could test this again, or is this one off until november. >> the ivf issue isn't over, by the way, because the fix that the legislature put in place is really kind of a stopgap. it's a measure that doesn't address the fundamental question that was before the supreme court that said that embryos are children. now, is this going to turn the alabama state legislature blue, i don't think so. but it is a sign, it is a harbinger and it's building on a pattern that we have seen over and over and over again, where voters do come out.

>> we have been seeing this for two straight years. joining us now, elissa slotkin who represents the state of michigan in the house but is running for a seat in the senate. thank you so much for joining us. what is the lesson to take away from this victory? >> i mean, i think the lesson is that people do not like when you take away their rights to control their own family planning. they don't like having a right and having it taken away, and while, you know, roe v. wade was sort of the big thing we were all focusing on, the republicans have not stopped trying to ban abortion and ban sort of every type of family planning from beginning to end since roe was overturned, and i think what happened in alabama was awesome. it was amazing because it demonstrated that, you know, we watch what you do. we are watching your actions. and if you're trying to take something away from someone, they're going to -- you're going to pay for that at the polls, and that's what we saw

yesterday. >> what is the response you're getting in your home state? >> i mean, look, i think in michigan, you know, we were a full band state. when roe was overturned, we were looking over this cliff. we mobilized, we got 800,000 signatures, and we codified roe in our constitution in 2022. frankly, a lot of folks were thinking, we're good, michigan did its job, we're not good. roe was just the beginning, and whether it's going after ivf and person hood for embryos, whether it's going after mifepristone, the drugs that you need to carry out an abortion, 50% of all abortions are used, you know, use mifepristone. whether it's going after a woman's right to travel for an abortion, all of these things, it's an unrelenting attack on this right, and people are done with it. it's not even partisan. in michigan, i can't tell you how many pro life women, especially, come up to me and say, look, i couldn't personally choose to get an abortion, but i did have a miscarriage. i did have a dnc, i had to have

that procedure so i could go on and have kids, and so a woman's right, in her own way, you know, should be hers. and so i just think that you have to watch what these guys and a lot of them are guys on the republican side are doing. they may see that they're all good with ivf, but if they sponsor bills and vote on it in a way that gets rid of ivf, it doesn't matter what their talking points are. actions speak louder than words. >> i'm sure you watched the mifepristone arguments in the supreme court yesterday, after which i had the attorney for the group suing to get mifepristone ruled back, i asked her about whether this was a step in the direction of trying to outlaw abortion nationwide. here's what she said. >> is the goal of this litigation to take us one step closer to banning abortion access nationwide? >> no. at issue before the supreme

court is whether or not when women choose to take abortion drugs they do so with the protections that until very recently the fda said was necessary and minimally burdensome. >> i asked her about the comstock act and the talk that the comstock act wouldn't be used to ban the mailing of abortion pills but the mailing of equipment that could be used for abortion. i've heard talk about that among groups from the trump administration, if they're back in power, trying to use that. what is your sense? what are you telling voters about what could be to come? >> what i'm telling them is exactly what donald trump is saying aloud, he's concerning a nationwide ban. what i'm telling them is that as a member of congress under a republican congress this year, i voted alone in the past year 15 times on some sort of bill that would cut women's access to abortion.
